Hello all, I am safe and sound if not very tired right now at my grandma's house. It's 8:36pm current time, 5:36 in the morning for the time where I came from. A big time difference, and it's going to take me a while to adjust.
The flight itself was ok, though too long for my liking (11 hours >_<). I was cramped, and somewhat bored. Dozed off for a few hours, listened to music and watched Shrek 2 again, which was one of the films they showed. The food was horrible, as expected.
It was a bit disconcernting touring the city in the car. We went through places where I was familiar with when I was young (like around my elementry school). Things changed quite a bit, even though the last time I visited was only 2 years ago. Also we went to visit my grandparents' old house, the place where I grew up for a while. They had to move, and I was sorry that I'll never see it again.
Saw my (maternal) relatives, grandma, aunt, uncle, cousin Sean. Will be meeting the paternal side of the family tomorrow. I can't wait, it's been too long.
It was only until I saw the TV did I realize how much better it was than Canadian shows. Animes every 2 channel! ^____^ By the time I browsed through them, I took glimpses of One Piece, Naruto (Keet don't shoot me!), Fushigi Yuugi (the last episode no less), Pokemon, some random kiddies ones that I don't know the name of, one really, really old one that goes back to my parents' time, and most importantly, Detective Conan!! Gosh, I miss watching Conan anime. It's good to be back.
*streches* Anyway, I need to get to bed now, or I'll fall asleep on the keyboard. Will be watching movie 8 tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be able to get a report typed up tomorrow evening my time, the ungodly hours for those in N. America (though I might be sleeping by then).
I apologize in advance if any of the above sentences doesn't make sense. I am in a half-asleep mode right now.
